Back to business - Tatiane's comeback in Santos

Tatiane lost display cabinets and a cooler to the demolition of the market and needs $1,300 to reopen a flower stall and support the family.

Santos
For four years I have run a flower stall in Santos. In July, the demolition of the market took display cabinets and a cooler. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me. Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 4 weeks. This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment. Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item. Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go. Where the $1,300 goes: • Replacing display cabinets and a cooler: $780 • Initial stock: seasonal flowers: $210 • Shop repairs and licensing: $105 • Working capital for the first month: $205 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Tatiane

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($293 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
